Thomas Adams Exactly. When the price drop comes (prob in two or three months after release), it would start to sell. And when December comes... Nintendo will have to open a new bank account to hold all the money they are going to recieve
I'm telling you bruh, hold onto that hype because I guaranteed they'll sell special edition holiday bundles come Black Friday/Christmas. They've done it with all of their consoles in the first year since the Gameboy.
People comparing the price of this to things like Ps4 and Xbox are just dumb and are realy not thinking things through! The price of the switch is VERY competitive. Yes im comparing in £'s but the point is the same.So PS4 was £350 at launch. Had ONE controller and no games. So to buy another controller was, and still is, £55. Add to that a game, thats another £55. So in total to get a ps4 with two controllers and a game is £460. Now look at the Switch. £280 for for the Switch itself. You get TWO controllers so its already cheaper than ps4, but okay, if you are going to complain lets add a pro controller. Thats another £60. Then you want a game. Thats £50 in most places now. So for the switch with THREE controllers and a game is £390. Thats £70 LESS THAN PS4 WAS AT LAUNCH. Oh but silly me, the switch is a portable too. So lets add another £150 to the ps4 to get a PS Vita so you can play games on the go. And lets add...oh, nothing, to the switch. So thats £510 vs £390. Now whether you like Nintendo or not is not the point. You cant argue with the Math. The price of this system and its accessories is fine.DO THE MATH PEOPLE..
Also MtMarshi even if the switch isn't the best home console,have in mind that the graphics are amazing not just like the ps4 but atleast for 5 years it is going to be the most powerfull portable console. So it is a different category of a game consol.
MtMarshi Jesus, you're stupid man. This is hilarious! Look at the power in PS4 in comparison to the Switch. The fact that Switch (which is built off of 5 year old Nvidia technology) is anywhere close to the pricing of the consoles that are actually close to current graphical fidelity standards and have 3rd party support is ridiculous. Also, don't add "worth" because it can be played on the go. This is first and foremost a handheld that can be plugged into a TV(as shown by its weakness, game designs, and marketing in Japan which is always more honest since Nintendo likes to pretend we don't see/hear anything that happens in Japan) and should be compared to Handhelds since they're in the same power/quality family. Debug Vitas used for review and testing had HDMI out, so that is the best thing to compare switch to, not PS4/Xbone. The "math" (lol, thats still stupid) this is overpriced and only has such a high price because of Nintendo's insistence on putting stupid gimmicks In their consoles.
Nathan Palmer 5 year old nvidia tech? I highly doubt that. Its not a X1. If anything its a HIGHLY modified X1 with X2 elements and It provably is a tegra X2. Which goes to the ballpark of ps4. And the wii U was already much more powerful than a ps3. The switch is significantly more powerful than that. If what I hear is true, the 900p 30fps demo of botw was a hasty port of the wii U version and they are optimizing for 1080p 60fps. Thats more of a gap than the wii U had with ps4. Also just saying, the vita had a 250$ launch price.
Nintendo games don't take up much storage, botw takes up around 13 gbs. Unless you download every single huge game released for the switch you're good for the consoles lifetime.
gsa9online yup, i got a Terabyte HDD for my wii u, and i bought all the biggest games (I'm a Nintendo collector) and i still only used 57Gigs (25 more of extra save files and stuff) thats not a lot. Now that its cartridges it will be so much easier to have unlimited storage.
Tryhardblackguy you kinda do, that's almost 300gb, Zelda is 13 gb which is a big game. Bomberman R is 4 gb. You don't have to download physical games to the system like PS4 and XB1
SomethingSomethingRUclips Yeah. Its so unfair, that the PowerGrip is not the starterpack. But you can play with the Joycons up to 20 Hours without charging. Sorry for my grammar, i'm from Germany
Everyone needs to chill about "Omg there's barely any games at launch" and "70 bucks for a controller, are you dumb!?!?" The pro controller is not the only controller you can use and you can play the switch MANY different ways, so stop complaining. Second, Launch titles are not the only things that decide the future of a console and we still have a month or two until launch day so they could release plenty of games in that period of time. So hop off of Nintendo
ummmmm Launch titles are one of the things that decide the future of a console, look at the Wii U launch. This launch is worst than that, only 1 new game.
Also it's under powered. Not long battery life. The good games don't come out until 2018. A paid service. No voicechat. Matchmaking is now on your phone. YOU RENT A NES GAME FOR A MONTH FOR FREE? At least you can get name-brand titles worth up to 30 dollars for free on Xbox and PS4. Your point?
+RyanbroGameMaster For what it is, it's not under powered. Do you really think at 300 bucks you could cram a high performance pc on that? (And just in case you like to compare solely power, consoles don't hold a candle to pcs). How much battery life do you get from ps4 or xbox? Can you carry them around and play on the go? How many and what games did other consoles have when they launched? You can't compare a new console to ones that have been out for a long time like that and expect everything to be the same. Again ps4 and xbox have a paid service as well, but nintendo has it for free until they have more to offer later in the year. Check again in a couple years and see whether your points still apply, if you truly want to compare it to others on an equal footing.
You guys are crazy if you think anyone is going to pay $70 for a controller. I won't be picking the system up because of that and a lack of games at launch. I think that's a huge misstep it should be $50 Max
JB Brickman you do realize I'm obviously talking about the Pro Controller right? I would prefer to use an actual controller as this would be more of a Home console for me than a portable. $70 is ridiculous you can get a PlayStation or Xbox controller for like 40 bucks
Why are the boxes for the games so big if the cards are so small? Not like they're putting a big manual in there. Is it because they don't want the boxes to be smaller than the boxes of the PS4/XBONE games on the shelf next to them (and thus look like lesser products)?
inyojelly probably purely for manuals (those games that have them), organization (harder to lose), and aesthetics (looks better). Another big factor is shelf space. If the Switch cases were really small, it would take a lot more games to fill out a shelf and create an eye catching display.
inyojelly Harder to steal, and the shape was established by VHS boxes (which carried over to DVDs, and then to video game discs) so long rectangular boxes fit people's shelves better.
Or on the shelf. I imagine that there will be carrying cases available for the cards to you don't have to lug boxes around with you, similar to the ones the 3DS got
Ok! Everyone needs to chill on pricing didn't hear anyone complaining about a $1,000 iPad or a $300 iPod touch. Come on use some common sense here. $70 for the pro controller when the Dualshock 4 controllers and Xbox One controllers cost $60 and might I add the Switch pro controller comes with gyro controls and the HD rumble and also an NFC sensor oh yeah and USB-C. Also the PS4 was $400 at launch and the Xbox One up to $500! And we can't speak solidly on the switch launch games yet since more is yet to be revealed and there could be other games releasing in other territories oh yeah and it isn't region locked so there's more games for yah. Also the switch comes with the two joycons the straps and the grips the dock and an HDMI cable. So we can't really complain about pricing when we look at other products in surrounding industries. So please chill with all the rants of the pricing
True Gamer Q True, but if I dropped it I don't want it scuffed up or cracking the screen on impact. If you can shatter the screen on a $700 iPhone, this screen can crack too.
if u buy the original Nintendo product i use to have my old wii mote from my old wii after 5 years of me playing wii sport and throwing it across the room it died i still have the one from the wii play set still kicking fine there tough you be fine
I watched this video repeatedly on the weeks leading up to the Switch launch. This is so nostalgic to me and I don't remember the last time I was so hype for a console. Good times 🥰
Or you know, you could use more than one? What does a 16 gigabyte SD card cost again? Oh right. $8 Big frigging deal right!? Ooh, poor me I might have to swap memory cards every so often! How terrible! You don't have to install games, so this space is strictly for digital download games. (the game cartridges even contain space for save games it would seem.) So sure, if you're obsessed with digital downloads, then the 32 gigabyte internal space is going to be quite an issue sooner or later. But otherwise it really won't matter in the first place... I mean, small, replaceable external storage devices. How terrible, right? I really don't get it sometimes... It's like people just WANT to find things to complain about...
the samsung SD cards are sold at a premium, the sandisk ones are 75% cheaper i have a samsung 256GB, but i got mine free because the 600$ galaxy S7 rebate that offered the card for free
$70 is a very good price. It has an NFC reader, motion controls, rubber grip, good weight, 40 hours of battery, see through design, and it looks very ergonomic and premium.
The fact that the switch uses game cards makes my brain happy. Makes it feel more like a console instead of a pc. Don't get me wrong i like my Xbox one but game cards mmmmmmmmm. Pop it in and your good to go. I I don't know why game carts just feel good to me.even back in the n64 days when they had major limitations. I still liked them over disks.
well people prefer the xbox controller layout but the Xbox controller dose not have hd rumble gyro and the thing i cant spell nintendo made the first joystick with the n64 knowing sony and Microsoft they will steal Nintendo s ideas again........ its just the way the cookie crumbles ......
Yeah it does !! Didn't you hear about haptic feedback they added to the Xbox one controller in 2013 ? Companies steal from each other all the time just like Nintendo stole a lot if ideas from Sega back in the day and Sony stole from Microsoft and Microsoft from Sony. That's how business works
It's remarkable how they managed to fit basicly the wii u system (a bit more powerful) and the gamepad with an even better screen in such a small device.
I have 2 issues with this video. 1) The Joycon grip you were showing is not the one that comes with the console. You only had the charging ones. They both had the USB C port at the top. Some people could be misled by this. The charging and non charging grips are also slightly different in colour. I was disappointed that you set that up to fail in showing it, but at least you made it clear that a charging grip doesn't come with the console by default. 2) Nothing in this video is new to me. Given I have been keeping up with news about it as it comes out though. But something new would've been nice. I'd hardly call this a hardware review as much as displaying available accessories and minor tech insight. None of this will stop me from buying it though. I have pre-ordered everything, including the LAN adapter, except the wheel, which I'll get when Mario Kart comes out.
so I have already 2 controllers that can form a main controller and a passive charger for all of those? this is really worth the 300 cash if you think about.
The only thing keeping me from buying this outright is the fact that you don't have dual screen play. That was the best part of the Wii U, and the fact that they kept the touch screen but not a way to display on the TV while also playing on the pad was a huge misstep in quality.
The controller grip thing that comes with the console is extremely comfortable. I wouldn't pick up the pro controller until there is a twitch shooter. Great console
I'm going to be very disapointed if I can't use the Joy con controllers as Wii remotes when playing Wii games on virtual console, especially skyward sword
shyron luigi Yeah you can choose colored Joy cons or grey ones. I got the colored ones bc they're awesome. Idk if the wrist straps are colored though...
What is your point? The PS4 is much cheaper now, more powerful, has over 1300 games, has cheaper accessories, has way better online, and is a far better value overall. The Switch is not competing with a console 4 years ago. It is competing with the consoles available now.
Expensive, not overpriced. You're paying for modern tech. HD Rumble, IR, NFC, and compacted tech making the most powerful portable handheld gaming device on the market.
It's funny tbh that people complain how much this Console costs when nobody complains about the PS4 $400 Price or Xbox One $500 Price xD
Helloz World They dont cost 400 or 500?
Gavin Lovell At lauch they did
Jean Lucca Mastrolinardo They don't anymore tho??? i don't really get your point its competing with them now, not 4 years ago.
Jean Lucca Mastrolinardo therefore in the future, the switch will get a price drop too
Thomas Adams Exactly. When the price drop comes (prob in two or three months after release), it would start to sell. And when December comes... Nintendo will have to open a new bank account to hold all the money they are going to recieve
That's soo crazy how small the console box didn't think it was that small 😱😱 can't wait to get the switch :)
JamiePanhead it makes sense, they don't have to put a massive console in the box
Pumpkinpie3080 yeah I forgot how small the switch an dock was 😂
JamiePanhead same I want it so bad but I don't have enough money😳
And they shrunk it down further. Wonder what the new console would be like, it is said that it would be revealed this year
That host is really hip. I bet he understands and can relate to the youth out there.
DannyWilliamH Yep, he's black
ye and he's also young so I'm sure he'll understand the youth
Mirko Žaja don't be racist
1-2 Switch should be free
soccerzz5 yess I completely agree
Christian Perez It would be funny, if Nintendo says: Prank! 1 2 Switch is pre-installed
soccerzz5 it should be like wii sports
it should just come in the box
CrazyGamingMC yeah right, nice prank to cancel all pre-orders?
ayush112000 yeah, probably will be like this
*I lust for the Nintendo Switch*
😋
Ross the Sauce Boss hold this L lonerforboner
Such a LUST for Switch!
Ross the Sauce Boss so true dud
Dankglas Quaid Woah Hooooooooo
finally a non laggy version of this video

ElroyJetson318 yep
I can't wait to pick this up on March 3rd along with BOTW
GoldenArrow I'm getting it cause my birthday but it's gonna be amaze
GoldenArrow Pretty sure everyone who is buying the console is buying Zelda, it's the only game till Mario kart that comes out for the dang thing
I'm telling you bruh, hold onto that hype because I guaranteed they'll sell special edition holiday bundles come Black Friday/Christmas. They've done it with all of their consoles in the first year since the Gameboy.
I'm pre ordering switch :D
BaileysVids Tv good for you
how the heck is that tiny thing 256GB!?!?!?!?!?!?!? FUTURRRRREEEEEEEEE
you can get one up to 512 Gigabytes
And it costs $250. lol
Thats insane!!!
Peacecraft ppl develop 1tb micro SD card it just a prototype now and not release yet.
lol, IT JUST IS

Nintendo games don't take up much storage, botw takes up around 13 gbs. Unless you download every single huge game released for the switch you're good for the consoles lifetime.
gsa9online yup, i got a Terabyte HDD for my wii u, and i bought all the biggest games (I'm a Nintendo collector) and i still only used 57Gigs (25 more of extra save files and stuff) thats not a lot. Now that its cartridges it will be so much easier to have unlimited storage.
Except SD cards have much higher failure rates than HDD's. You will have to replace it down the road. Also load times are bad on SD cards.
Tryhardblackguy you kinda do, that's almost 300gb, Zelda is 13 gb which is a big game. Bomberman R is 4 gb. You don't have to download physical games to the system like PS4 and XB1
The consoles of Nintendo doesn't need more than 200gb, because that they are "consoles" doesn't a PC.
$79.99 for a pair of joy-con controllers. A charge grip should atleast be included.
SomethingSomethingRUclips Yeah. Its so unfair, that the PowerGrip is not the starterpack. But you can play with the Joycons up to 20 Hours without charging. Sorry for my grammar, i'm from Germany
SomethingSomethingRUclips yeah I agree is expansive, but at least the joy-cons have motion controls, HD rumble, gyroscope and accelerometer
CrazyGamingMC
Your grammar is quite good, though. No worries.
does anyone know how many Times you can fully charge both joy cons with the charging grip?
SomethingSomethingRUclips charge grip?
Nintendo is really *SWITCHING* everything up.
No just no. lol

You guys are crazy if you think anyone is going to pay $70 for a controller. I won't be picking the system up because of that and a lack of games at launch. I think that's a huge misstep it should be $50 Max
So you are gonna buy it later? if so, i respect that cause splatoon 2
val val I'll scoop it up when Mario is out.
ok :v
Midnight you do realize the switch already comes with 2 joycon controllers right ?
JB Brickman you do realize I'm obviously talking about the Pro Controller right? I would prefer to use an actual controller as this would be more of a Home console for me than a portable. $70 is ridiculous you can get a PlayStation or Xbox controller for like 40 bucks
I'm glad to finally watch this segment without any lag from the livestream! Very excited to get this system.
Nintendo's QVC game is on point right now.
Why are the boxes for the games so big if the cards are so small? Not like they're putting a big manual in there.
Is it because they don't want the boxes to be smaller than the boxes of the PS4/XBONE games on the shelf next to them (and thus look like lesser products)?
inyojelly yeah that's a good bet. I mean, the Vita did the same thing. Same goes for 3DS
inyojelly probably purely for manuals (those games that have them), organization (harder to lose), and aesthetics (looks better). Another big factor is shelf space. If the Switch cases were really small, it would take a lot more games to fill out a shelf and create an eye catching display.
inyojelly Harder to steal, and the shape was established by VHS boxes (which carried over to DVDs, and then to video game discs) so long rectangular boxes fit people's shelves better.
inyojelly those games are tiny. imagine a case that fit it snugly, it would instantly get lost in the couch.
Or on the shelf. I imagine that there will be carrying cases available for the cards to you don't have to lug boxes around with you, similar to the ones the 3DS got
This system is sexy.
TheZeroJoker Sexier than PlayStation VR?
The Forgotten Ones Yes. Sexier than a PlayStation VR.
yes.
KumorixGuardian It is. Quite a lot.
THE CODEX ASTARTES SUPPORTS THIS COMMENT
Wow!!!!!! The box is a lot smaller than I thought it would. great work Nintendo I'm impressed that you guys were able to put all of those in that box.
The biggest problem is the joy cons. They're 50 dollars each or 80 for two! Of I want to play arms with a friend that's another 80 bucks!
Thndr_ Not true. The Console comes packed with two joycons. Arms is a two-player game. You shouldn't have a problem
Thndr_ you'll only pay 80 bucks for new controllers and $80 for 2 high tech controllers is a deal
+Jean Lucca Mastrolinardo
You know that you need 2 joy cons per player in arms?
tell your friend to buy a switch. problem solved.
TheBraveGallade that's not the point
Hey, it's not a slideshow anymore!
I bet you forgot about this video
HYPE!!!! CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY SWITCH ON MARCH 3!!!!!
I will never get a switch. :'(
I was wondering when they were going to break down the treehouse live video. nice.
The constant sound of Sonic in the background brings a smile to my face.

Ok! Everyone needs to chill on pricing didn't hear anyone complaining about a $1,000 iPad or a $300 iPod touch. Come on use some common sense here. $70 for the pro controller when the Dualshock 4 controllers and Xbox One controllers cost $60 and might I add the Switch pro controller comes with gyro controls and the HD rumble and also an NFC sensor oh yeah and USB-C. Also the PS4 was $400 at launch and the Xbox One up to $500! And we can't speak solidly on the switch launch games yet since more is yet to be revealed and there could be other games releasing in other territories oh yeah and it isn't region locked so there's more games for yah.

So please chill with all the rants of the pricing
MrFatcakes92 ikr
This is probably the best explanation of what Nintendo Switch is. Zero "confusion" to be had on what it is.
I'm actually crying because this reminds me of when Iwata unboxed the Wii U.
Daymon R.I.P iwata, you surely will be missed
Daymon ikr ;(
RUclips been recommending these videos recently, and they're making me feel old. Four years since the Switch launched, wow.
I just want to know if the console itself has a protective case available.
FindingTheEverlight I'm pretty sure there are already people making some
TechnoSinister That's good to know, I just hope it can still fit in the dock.
True Gamer Q True, but if I dropped it I don't want it scuffed up or cracking the screen on impact. If you can shatter the screen on a $700 iPhone, this screen can crack too.
FindingTheEverlight I think there's going to be a screen protector for it soon, but idk
if u buy the original Nintendo product i use to have my old wii mote from my old wii after 5 years of me playing wii sport and throwing it across the room it died i still have the one from the wii play set still kicking fine there tough you be fine

"When playing FPS" what fps games?
BlackSn0wz exactly,no fps games have been confirmed for the nintendo switch yet lmao
BlackSn0wz splatoon ? :-(
activision is one the of the thing's so there would at least be one cod and when since was splatoon not an fps
BonkBoy thats a third person shooter
At least titanfall 2 is confirmed to not be on the switch lmao, its director literally answered "fk no"
1:56 Nate looks so enthusiastic! I like how treehouse seems so real, you can tell the presenters really love Nintendo and being on treehouse.
RIP OFF!!!!!
That Samsung 256GB SD card is $250 CAD!!!!!!!
Almost as much as the damn console!!!!!
Yeah THAT SD card you can find others for much cheaper on Amazon
Complete moron.
Rem Natsuki 200 gb micro sd on Amazon $69 bucks.
Or you know, you could use more than one?
What does a 16 gigabyte SD card cost again?
Oh right. $8
Big frigging deal right!?
Ooh, poor me I might have to swap memory cards every so often! How terrible!
You don't have to install games, so this space is strictly for digital download games. (the game cartridges even contain space for save games it would seem.)
So sure, if you're obsessed with digital downloads, then the 32 gigabyte internal space is going to be quite an issue sooner or later.
But otherwise it really won't matter in the first place...
I mean, small, replaceable external storage devices. How terrible, right?
I really don't get it sometimes...
It's like people just WANT to find things to complain about...
the samsung SD cards are sold at a premium, the sandisk ones are 75% cheaper
i have a samsung 256GB, but i got mine free because the 600$ galaxy S7 rebate that offered the card for free
I want this Console... RIGHT NOW!!!
is Netflix and RUclips in nintendo switch
Cool Kids Crash
soon
Kevin yveltal if it has hdmi
Not yet.
why would you want either on a game console?
Flamadiddle its not a must have, but it would be nice to have a gaming console & Entertainment System in one, or at least a sort of "Entertainment"
200 bucks for 256 gb, WHAT A STEAL!!!
It's like ten bucks.
What are you taking about?
Warren Valion hahahaha no it isnt.
hypermetalsonic or you can buy two 128gb off amazon for $80. That's 256gb for $80. Your welcome.
Dzian Kolack Did some research, some are like twenty bucks and some are like two hundred bucks.
hypermetalsonic That SPECIFIC card is 200 bucks. Others aren't.
If only I could actually Pre order this Nintendo, stock some more please, I'm tired of all the scalpers.
Naga itzu same
Thank you for fixing the frame issues
I don't know why they would count it as a home console if the actual system is the handheld
Diego Arenas its a hybrid
+Space nugget
handheld playable on tv
not hybrid
HanZter Dávila it's both. Therefore a hybrid.
XTremeGamze
you can use a psp on a tv
it makes it a hybrid?
and easier....
just connect a cable and thats it
Diego Arenas "it's a home console you can take on the go "
I really like how this is a home console and it's portable.
Fun drinking game, take a shot everytime someone says "Uh"
$70 is a very good price. It has an NFC reader, motion controls, rubber grip, good weight, 40 hours of battery, see through design, and it looks very ergonomic and premium.
I'm such a nerd lol I was excited af watching this video
Thank you for reuploading I tried to watch the original it was rough but I really wanted to see this in depth
1:16-1:27 CLOSE YOU'RE EYES.
your welcome
>using the wrong "you're/your" both times
I cry.
Close you are eyes.
And that welcome belongs to you.
HAHAHA! No one has EVER used you're/your that badly in my lifetime! 😂😂😂
Oooooh Priceless
Marshy this guy uses the fancy you're, but thats the wrong you're
Finally great to see this without all that skipping.
The fact that the switch uses game cards makes my brain happy. Makes it feel more like a console instead of a pc. Don't get me wrong i like my Xbox one but game cards mmmmmmmmm. Pop it in and your good to go. I I don't know why game carts just feel good to me.even back in the n64 days when they had major limitations. I still liked them over disks.
"Just holding... Fills me with such... LUST..."
"Woah"
This is my favorite controller of all time " stole the xbox design "
well people prefer the xbox controller layout but the Xbox controller dose not have hd rumble gyro and the thing i cant spell nintendo made the first joystick with the n64 knowing sony and Microsoft they will steal Nintendo s ideas again........ its just the way the cookie crumbles ......
Yeah it does !! Didn't you hear about haptic feedback they added to the Xbox one controller in 2013 ? Companies steal from each other all the time just like Nintendo stole a lot if ideas from Sega back in the day and Sony stole from Microsoft and Microsoft from Sony. That's how business works
like i said thats how the cookie crumbles
Xbox stole Gamecube's design anyway
billybrenders actually this is the same layout as the gamecube controller except they got zl and zr now so... lol
don't mind me, just back to salivate over how good those joycon look.
okay so 265 GB is not storage forever, 1 TB doesn't even last that long
actually no, on a console you don't need nearly as much space, because you aren't storing custom files or anything
Maniac of Doom did you just argue with yourself?!
the cartridges to need to download the game if u want them digital then u need more than 32 gig
RandomnessThatWeDo
BoTW is 13 gigs.
RandomnessThatWeDo Actually no. There are no game installs on this system. That's why we use carts.
And here I am, getting it nearly 4 years later lol
Charging Joy-con grip sold separately !? You've got to be kidding me
Santiago Loya But, the JoyCons have a battery runtime of 20 hours. and then, you can charge this on the docking station
I can't wait to get a Nintendo Switch!
when you hear Sonic Mania in the background
Its endearing how they try to explain how comfortable the mini tiny little controllers are, comparing it to the NES controllers.
omg the best thing ever
It's remarkable how they managed to fit basicly the wii u system (a bit more powerful) and the gamepad with an even better screen in such a small device.
Seems everything that was amazing to them was sold separately
I feel like I'm going to be playing in handheld mode at home relaxing quite a lot
I have 2 issues with this video.
1) The Joycon grip you were showing is not the one that comes with the console. You only had the charging ones. They both had the USB C port at the top. Some people could be misled by this. The charging and non charging grips are also slightly different in colour. I was disappointed that you set that up to fail in showing it, but at least you made it clear that a charging grip doesn't come with the console by default.
2) Nothing in this video is new to me. Given I have been keeping up with news about it as it comes out though. But something new would've been nice. I'd hardly call this a hardware review as much as displaying available accessories and minor tech insight.
None of this will stop me from buying it though. I have pre-ordered everything, including the LAN adapter, except the wheel, which I'll get when Mario Kart comes out.
The Treehouse team did an amazing job. I'm no Nintendo shill either lol
Bayonetta 3 on the Switch!
Razer Howl yes!!!!!
How did you know?
OMG! They finally made sincing easy! I remember spending 20 mins trying to get my friends wii remote to connect to my wii u.
They need to talk about online services and Nintendo members for the paid thing
Dude, someone has to do a VR headset for this.
so I have already 2 controllers that can form a main controller and a passive charger for all of those? this is really worth the 300 cash if you think about.
128 GB is fine for me. Awesome.
NOTFICATION SQUAD
The only thing keeping me from buying this outright is the fact that you don't have dual screen play. That was the best part of the Wii U, and the fact that they kept the touch screen but not a way to display on the TV while also playing on the pad was a huge misstep in quality.
Indy Film Productions Is that actually confirmed?
Indy Film Productions just play in handheld mode
theres also the lack of backwards compatibility. I can't play any of my virtual console games or my physical games at all on this thing.
So does the switch charge in the dock or nah
The Crown Jewels yes an soo does the 2 joy controllers when docked
The Crown Jewels It most likely will
The Crown Jewels yes
The Crown Jewels I think so
Definitely.
Bought myself a 256GB Micro SD card to prepare myself for it. Looking foward to the Switch Nintendo!
did they just add this video again without it lagging?
This comes out two days before my birthday!!!
At least the video is better
The controller grip thing that comes with the console is extremely comfortable. I wouldn't pick up the pro controller until there is a twitch shooter. Great console
Someone tell me where to get those pillows
I fell in love with the Pro Controller
Cool
The concept is so good it just needs games
How are these small joy con controllers gonna fit my big hands XD. Who else has big hands
GamerChu122 not me
GamerChu122 Yeah. I'm hoping for Joycons XL.
go watch kevin kensons video on the switch they actually feel good for big hands and if you think they are too small use the pro controller
l think the question is who doesn't have small tiny Asian hands....the rest of the world?
After ignoring separate accessories with the wii and wii u, I might need a pro controller for the first time. That thing looks beautiful.
I'm going to be very disapointed if I can't use the Joy con controllers as Wii remotes when playing Wii games on virtual console, especially skyward sword
Alias Fakename Yes you can, its confirmed they have gyroscope
Alias Fakename you can
Alias Fakename Wonder how they will port those games, what with the strange control scheme...
Have you seen the news, Skyward Sword HD is out and has motion controls.
Wow no virtual console at all lol
$70 for a controller.
...
AsRebel ???? Umm that's the same price for PS4 controllers and XB1 Controllers plus this thing is tiny and it packs way more tech
AsRebel for 2 controllers
kleverklogs he's talking about the pro controller
AsRebel Same as ps4 and xboner
Uh, PS4 controllers are $50, sometimes $40.
I am so happy that this is launching on my birthday
No lagg yayy
The kickstand looks like it has a good width, nice.
The pricing for these accessories is a complete scam.
Demon of Elru Then don't buy them. smh
I have a master plan: don't buy them
Jean Lucca Mastrolinardo that's reyltarded reasoning. Him not buying them doesn't change the fact that it's overpriced.
isn't an xbox/ps4 controler 60$? and the pro controler has like, a HUGE battery not to mention precise motion controls, HD rumble, and NFC.
Yes the pricing for the PS4 controller isn't a scam... ok
I just realized that you can use the whell as a controller extention so you can play any game with a single controller in a more confortable way
pro controller is an xbox one contoller
Jesus Ochoa nope is a gamecube controller :v
Is a kind of improved gamecube controller
my english is bad :v
Alexis Vergara It is nothing like the GameCube controller at all. It basically is just an Xbox One controller.
Alexis Vergara Don't worry. Your english is fine. But... Eso significa que hablas español :3?
Probably will get one during the Christmas once user reviews are in and game library is enticing enough during year end
mewletter ha lol, getting one either preordered next week because of spelling bee, or for my b-day, which is 10 days after the release ;D
even colored controlers come in the box?
shyron luigi there is a version with grey JoyCons and a version with red/blue JoyCons
shyron luigi Yeah you can choose colored Joy cons or grey ones. I got the colored ones bc they're awesome. Idk if the wrist straps are colored though...
so you dont have to pay extra to get colored controllers ?
shyron luigi no, you don't have to pay extra
shyron luigi Nope, it comes with the console just as normal
The Switch is gonna be AWESOME!
Over priced crap right here... No thanks!
What is your point? The PS4 is much cheaper now, more powerful, has over 1300 games, has cheaper accessories, has way better online, and is a far better value overall. The Switch is not competing with a console 4 years ago. It is competing with the consoles available now.
Rem But it doesn't have Zelda \^ω^/
Rem Xbox was 500 at launch
You didn't come here just to call it crap, did you? Because if you did, gtfo.
Expensive, not overpriced. You're paying for modern tech. HD Rumble, IR, NFC, and compacted tech making the most powerful portable handheld gaming device on the market.
